Arnarstapi, Iceland…

This is one of our favourite places on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula!Gatklettur is an extraordinary columnar basalt rock arch. This breathtaking seaside cliff formation looks almost as though an artist had created it. After a very big night of chasing the Northern Lights we found ourselves here. Just before dawn it clouded over & we had started to make our way back to our camper for a well deserved rest.But shortly before we arrived there, we noticed some vibrant colour in the sky & that an amazing sunrise looked imminent. We rushed back & decided to do a 7 min long exposure in hope of getting a colourful/streaky sky. Sounds ok in theory right? Strangely enough, the ocean had that long exposure look, but not the sky as it barely moved in that time. The colours that splashed across the sky were incredible! And at first we thought we ruined the perfect opportunity to capture amazing light at this location (it's often rains out/covered in fog). But we actually like how it turned out. It’s different…and thats what makes it so special.
